You want a second hair system driven by the same guides as the second? You could do this create a second branch. We are working to develop a node graph so artists can make this connections and branch out easily. Meanwhile, you can do this using the Node Editor, there you can see how Ox nodes are connected and create a new branch. See this video to know more about this topic:

Or, you can just select GuidesFromMesh or GuidesFromCurves and use the following MEL script:

string $selectedNode[] = `ls -selection`;

OxAddStrandOperator2( $selectedNode[0], "HairFromGuidesNode", 1 )

 

This script will create a new branch starting from the selected Node in the NodeEditor or the HairStack and add a new HairFromGuides node. This way you will have a second hair object driven by the guides of the first hair object. The Node Editor should look like this:

The HairStack should look like this, notice the "Branch" label, this is where the new branch starts, you can double click to switch to the shape of each branch:

I recommed you try to make those connections manually, this will help you understand how Ox nodes work and unlock lots of possibilities. I'm including my test scene here.

The script I gave you was made to create a new branch with the exact conditions you gave me: Create a new branch/hair system using the same guides used to create the first branch/hair system. That is why it will fail to create a new branch starting from the Frizz operator. In this case you can make the connections yourself. Just look at how the nodes are connected, press TAB in the NodeEditor to add new nodes, add the node you need and make the connections. You can also add GuidesShapes or HairShapes and make the connections as I show in the first image or as you desire. The video I linked also provides some valuable info.
